Spare Parts

If you can't bite, don't show your teeth ~ Yiddish Proverb

Friendly Greetings Everyone,

Lately, there seems to be a lot of news about cats out there. Cooper just sent me another story I must share. There is a kitty out there named Yoda who has extra ears. Yoda's mama had eight kittens and he was the last one left when everyone was adopting his siblings. Nobody wanted him because they thought he looked scary or evil or something. He's not evil, he's special. Now his people keep him indoors because he's so rare they are afraid someone will catnap him.
I had some spare parts for a while too, but I wasn't on Fox news or anything. I have my big kitty fangs now but for a while I had my big kitty fangs and my kitten fangs all in my mouth together! It was great! I was like a shark! Fangs all over!
Well, everyone have a nice Labor Day Weekend

Kisses,

Lottie,

Bonny's Bad Summer

"It is a good thing to learn caution from the misfortunes of others." ~ Publilius Syrus

Friendly Greetings Everyone,

Uncle Cooper is after me to write in my diary. I am still so young and am busy playing and all that stuff that a kitten does. But he made it easy for me. He sent me a story to report to everyone. It's kind of bad, but it ends good so I'll pass it along to all of you:

" BERLIN (Reuters) - A four-year-old cat in Germany called Bonny has survived after being walled in beneath a bathtub for seven weeks, its owner said Tuesday.

"It's a miracle," said Monika Hoppert, a 60-year-old widow from the western town of Stadthagen. "I'm a strong believer, I think she must have had a guardian angel. I'm so happy."

Bonny disappeared on June 19 while workmen were replacing pipes in the block of flats where Hoppert lives. The black cat was last seen in a neighboring apartment, where the cladding around a bathtub had been removed.

Just before tub was sealed up again, Bonny had probably crept underneath, Hoppert said.

By the time the neighbor heard Bonny's plaintive miaowing from behind the tiles on August 8, the cat's weight had dropped from 13 pounds to 4 pounds.

"I couldn't believe it. But when I got down there, I knew it was my cat because they all have their own voice," said Hoppert.

Bonny was so weak the vet recommended she be put down. But Hoppert nursed her back to health with watered down kitten food.

"She's almost back to normal now. This morning was the first time she'd jumped onto my bed again," Hoppert said."

How's that for a story? Poor Bonny in the black hole for almost the whole summer. I hope she's having lots of sushi and caviar and baby food right now. Let's all be careful in the ladies room. It just seems like a smart thing to do.

Kisses,

Lottie

Baptized!

Friendly Greetings Everyone,

I really love my momma and in the morning when she is getting ready for work I always follow her into the ladies' room to be with her and to look around and everything. This morning was a little unusual. I am fascinated by the white water bowl. It is giant and has cold water in it all the time. I was walking around on it and: Bloop! I fell in! When I told uncle Cooper he thought it was super funny. He never fell in. My momma laughed too. She said: "Poor Lottie, did you get all wet, you poor baby? Ha hahahahahaha! " How embarrassing! Both my back feet got wet and my tail a little bit too. Fortunately, there are no photos of the incident. I'm dry now, but I don't recommend it.
Please be careful in the ladies' room. You could be next.

Kisses,

Lottie
